Exit interviews for the Miami Heat are today... Tobin is tired of being slandered on social media. Thankfully Tobin will not be there to end it on a more damaging note. Leroy continues to get on him for all the "damage" he has caused within the Heat organization... or has he? Tyler Herro rips a reporter that quoted him with the wrong context... Does he NEED Jimmy Butler to win?

00:00Miami Heat are going to have their exit interviews today I think starting at noonish something like
00:07that uh that's a but I just want to be clear about a couple things first of all I really am
00:12mad at you Leroy let me just start there because I am getting hammered on social media with either
00:20two things and I'm really mad at you about it okay because you've been on my ass this entire week
00:26about how I ruined the franchise which I don't appreciate because I I love the Miami Heat and
00:31then I didn't say you didn't love the Heat okay but I don't like how you said I ruined the franchise
00:35with with with the with the Jimmy Butler keep your mouth shut I'm just putting two and two together
00:40okay well please put your avicus away and I would really like you to stop because
00:44I'm getting either two things okay and I don't like either one of them one is either people
00:50telling me to stay the hell away uh which is one and then the other thing is people taking
00:56uh request asking requests of questions from me because they want people gone so they think they
01:02just put two and two together and I don't like either of them because I'm not responsible for
01:06anything and I didn't do anything please stop asking me that also I'm not going to be there today
01:11okay I'm on the air so you guys don't have to worry about it anybody who either wants me
01:16or doesn't want me I'm not there today I'm on the air so we will follow along on social media
01:22we will follow along maybe we'll get you some some audio from it but I'm responsible for none of
01:27this and also I this is not Pat Riley day so everybody who's like oh you know the Pat Riley is
01:34going to probably speak in another day I don't know when that day is I don't know if it's this
01:37week I don't know if it's the next week I don't know if it's before the season I don't know when
01:40Pat Riley is going to speak and I would say you don't this is Spoh and Pat Riley I mean this is
01:45Spoh and the players and it's voluntary so some players uh some players don't you players don't even
01:50have to do it if they don't want to but mostly everybody does it Jimmy Butler never did it I
01:55think Tyler skipped it last year um and I don't even you know I'm sure Bam will do it because Bam
02:00always does it but I don't even know what people expect but we do have some uh follow-up okay
02:07J-Fix says let Riley set the record straight and Jennifer how would you like me to do that you
02:12want me to waste Pat Riley's time where you go you want me to say Pat do you think uh all of
02:18this was uh my fault or do you think it's your fault that's what you want me to ask Jennifer
02:23she literally wants me taken away in handcuffs from the from the arena that's what she wants
02:28Leroy that's what she wants that's what she wants it's ridiculous um but we have a we do have Tyler
02:37Hero chiming in on something on social media recently uh mere minutes ago actually so we talked about this
02:43quote uh do we talk to this quote do we talk about this quote we didn't talk about it much
02:47because they were getting their ass kicked but uh he had a weird quote that was just out there
02:52from the athletic where he had said quote obviously I know I need Jimmy to win if we had Jimmy right
03:00now I feel like it'd be a completely different situation uh we probably wouldn't even be the
03:05eighth seed so finding uh that middle balance of like damn we need him but also understanding
03:10bleep that's his career and what he wants is ultimately his right uh and what uh is right
03:18his right to want what he wants it's just tough being in the middle of both sides now he apparently
03:22said this before game three so it was uh right before the heat lost by 37 points he was not very
03:29good in that game that of course wasn't good the next game either but it was a weird quote I was like
03:34man I appreciate honesty but that's like a right that's a strange thing to put out there especially
03:40in the middle of a playoff series because really you know and I know people haven't really touched
03:45in the Jimmy stuff especially locally because we've been there we've done that we've we've right
03:49we've been on that that road but you have a lot of national people coming in and around the team
03:53and new people around the team and they're trying to get their stories whatever but I thought it
03:56was a weird quote I'm just like why would you even if you felt it why would you say it's just a
04:01strange thing to put out there right yeah so anyway Tyler but it has no context it it doesn't
04:09have context that's why well that was my initial reaction I'm like very weird thing to say but
04:14that's how people report stuff nowadays they report the words and not necessarily the context it's a
04:20very strange thing to say and so he just clarified it stood out like a like yeah and and keep in mind
04:27also looking when they released it yeah they're making sound like he said it on the court before
04:34the game well he did I guess I'm guessing he said it in the locker room before the game but I don't
04:39know how he was asked I don't know what context it was brought up in um it was a one-on-one it was
04:45it was that would never happen that would never happen with you what do you mean your questions are
04:49clear the answers are clear that's okay dude you know what and also they're always on they're always
04:56on video or radio so yeah that's that's it so yeah so everybody gets the context of it and
05:03everybody can come to their own conclusion which is why you should say like you're you're an ender of
05:08worlds Dan you're a neutral man do you feel like the Jimmy Butler thing was my fault to keep your
05:12mouth shut that's Pat Riley's fault is it not no it's not your fault thanks man no you can only say
05:18what you say he said what you say he said what he said yeah but you don't think it's in the
05:24the responsibility of the person can lead the godfather into a shark-infested water oh wait
05:31wait wait wait wait wait wait see the thing that Dan doesn't understand we have history here
05:40this isn't the first time so when this happens multiple times we tend to come to a conclusion
05:48so the last time he interviewed Pat Riley it was about it wasn't the last time but it was a time a
05:56few years ago asterisk right I asked him after the bubble run I asked him did he feel like if he had
06:05Goron and Bam at full strength and they would have had a better chance and he went on this whole
06:11formative answer he talked about wilt and worthy and magic and the years he literally went through
06:18his entire resume Dan and he goes he's and the first things out of his words were about can you
06:25can you think about the injury he goes you can't do that but somewhere along the way he goes you know
06:30there's always going to be that asterisk that what if you know if we did have our guys
06:35wait didn't you ask him if there was an asterisk I did not ask you did I did not use the words
06:43asterisk he did he brought it up okay okay he brought it up all right funny how all these situations
06:50is oh interview voice Tobes on the other side of that yeah I understand it's not Barry no it's not
07:01well look it's it's it's it's a different character I understand I slide in there I'm just
07:07innocent you know everybody just looks and said ah what's he gonna say and so I don't know but but I
07:12didn't ruin the franchise and I really wish you stopped so Pat Riley a couple years down the road
07:16writing his memoirs like you know decades in the game two-time hall of famer championship rings
07:24one guy one guy one guy duped me and he got me every time Dan he had to put out a statement because
07:31everybody this formative answer he said the word asterisk about the Lakers and everybody thought
07:38he was petty Pat and he wasn't giving LeBron his due because the Lakers won and so Pat had to come
07:44out with a statement obviously the Lakers are earned champions the asterisk was on our side and not on
07:51their side hey I have a question what and this is how humans work why are you always on the other
08:02side of that I don't feel like I am you are wait well okay was there anything that the only two
08:10situations we can think of is that one and the Jimmy Butler thing before the season that's the
08:15only two things we can think of is there anybody else that because in your world I'm sure there's
08:22another show that doesn't exactly because it's in their world your world Tobin would have played it
08:30if it was somebody else I don't am I wrong I don't think that's fair but anyway am I wrong would you
08:36have played it if it was I would have played it like if if Ira or Anthony Chang or whoever asked
08:43that question and that happened I'm not blaming them that's what we're getting at here was Tyler
08:54Hero's Instagram post that he put on his finstagram which is what the kids say is a backup account
09:00um this is where he likes to get a little chippy you know which he does on the offseason he's
09:07probably very mad right now I imagine he's not in a good mood and I also think he probably knows
09:12that he's going to get asked about this and maybe Pat Riley will I don't know people wanted me to
09:15people this is what I got a bunch yesterday listen make sure you ask Pat Riley about that
09:19need Jimmy Butler quote so anyway here's what he said about it about the needing Jimmy Butler
09:24he wrote this is on his Instagram dude asked me a question in the time frame of January February
09:34when the Jimmy saga was happening I said I had came into the season thinking I was playing off Jimmy
09:42to him getting traded and I had to switch my mindset from needing Jimmy to me being the lead guy and I
09:50spoke about the things that I learned from JB never said I need anyone to win games y'all tripping
09:57and buddy from the athletic who wrote the article is a goofy he then goes on I usually don't clear
10:05bleep up either but I don't like dude from the athletic who was a reporter Jared Weiss so in other words
10:12we got context from the comments in which dude that reported it didn't give context because he wanted
10:21the story so well according to Tyler it still is a weird it's look it's a weird quote no matter what no
10:29but if it has context now it has context he didn't say he needed Jimmy he said he was playing off Jimmy
10:39and to go from playing off Jimmy to having to be that guy or the dude that was you know and it took
10:48him some time to get used to I'm sure that was it that was it it wasn't we need Jimmy or he needed Jimmy
10:56he never said that and you're sitting here going oh if that's what he said well I don't know like
11:04that's the thing is now Tyler's trying to because obviously there's heat also you're just you're making
11:08the assumption that what dude reported I think I but the first thing when I read it was that's a
11:14really weird quote I don't know the context of this yeah right now you have this context my first thought
11:19of it is it's a weird quote what Tyler's saying makes sense just because the initial reading of
11:23the article is that's a weird quote to just say in the middle of a playoff series right right but
11:30he said it happened earlier in the year no no well I don't think he's saying that he's saying that
11:35the guy was asking him in contact right he was asked before game three and sometimes you answer
11:41these things weird because you get caught up in the air Leroy you know as an athlete you just finish
11:45a game or it's before a game and someone asks you kind of a strange question and you just say
11:49something and then you realize with time like oh maybe I could answer that better it's it's they
11:54don't know what questions are coming they kind of get caught up no you never got caught up you have
11:59never you have never read something about me saying something crazy you've never been caught on up in
12:04the air on this show you only got you only got caught in Sandy Alcantara needs to tank this season so
12:09we can keep him that was a good quote I like that hey I'm a fan of that that's that's that's me being
12:16a fan of Sandy and and of the that's a mark quote that's a weird quote it's weird but the context is
12:24accurate everybody knew what I meant right so what I'm saying is why the context is bad on this
12:31okay Tyler spelled it out how the question was asked and how he answered it and dude took the
12:40snippet of that answer and reported as Tyler saying he needed Jimmy which is a really like it's it's it's
12:47a bad look you don't right but that's what I'm saying so so now he has to come out and respond
12:55from an article written that didn't give it proper context because the guy wanted clicks because when we
13:03start talking about it when people start talking about it when they talk about oh what is Tyler saying
13:08what is he doing right when in actuality Tyler put it in its proper context and that's the part that
13:17bothers me that listen you ask these players questions don't twist it for clicks and that seems to be what
13:29happened okay and so if a person has to come out and explain or put an interview in its proper context
13:41and dude has the same article he could have reported the same way but he chose not to
13:49so that's that's where I'm getting at with I agree with that not that not that like he did it for
13:57clicks he framed it in a way right like I don't know it's very strange it's a it it it read weird
14:09it was weird that doesn't even sound right for a heat player to say we need somebody else when
14:12their mantra is we got enough yeah especially just knowing how because I do think Tyler and I think
14:17bam you know what the thing that made it the most weird was knowing what happened when Jimmy came back
14:24right and how frosty it was and how Jimmy didn't talk to anybody and it was like I would have a hard
14:31time believing like that that somebody on the team said what I will say like it's not that I don't
14:36know Tyler to be an honest guy like Tyler can sometimes when I read it the other thing that I
14:41thought is man sometimes Tyler can be a bit of a sarcastic with his answers like he'll he'll make
14:47jokes about his defense sometimes that that's that's the Jimmy aspect of all of it right the smart ass
14:53comments but I but I do think that Tyler knows that he has to he does have to bring some clarity to it
14:59because yeah it didn't read well and you know in today's day and age people don't even read the
15:04article they're gonna read the tweets about the article right so but but my question is is it's
15:10just a bad job that we know Tyler better than this guy writing this article it didn't even sound like
15:19Tyler right and so Tyler had to come out because it didn't sound like something he would say and he
15:27had to put it in his proper context whether he was making a funny met whether the guy took the
15:34words and and ran with it however you want to put it you know it's kind of the same thing with
15:40you asking Pat Riley hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on I'm listening you asking Pat
15:52Riley about the 2020 finals and the only thing people pull from that article or that interview
16:00is the asterisk correct and or but you didn't but you didn't write that okay but also my question
16:09about the shut up that ended up being shut up wasn't even about Jimmy Jimmy did say the words but it
16:14was about the the ran back you ran back because wait hold on here's where you're a phony for
16:25telling untruths because when you said that to Pat and Pat said I don't know if he's trolling or not
16:33he knew damn well who said it and you told him who said you ran back like a little snitch and said
16:40Jimmy has said Jimmy has said that if he was playing what do you think about that that's what
16:49happened take a break starting the downfall of the 24 25 uh Miami heat thank you Tobin thank you Tobin
